This works fine once I activate SYNC. However after deactivating SYNC it automatically activates again when a new track is loaded. B) DETAILED STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 1. Settings: Maintain Sync on song load 2. Load deck 1 3. Load deck 2 4. Activate SYNC 5. Keep deck 2 playing 6. Load new song in deck 1 (=automatically SYNCed as it should) 7. Deactivate SYNC 8. Load new song in deck 2 =\> SYNC is activated again but should not C) EXPECTED RESULTS: - Setting ‘Maintain sync on song load’ should stop working once SYNC is deactivated D) ACTUAL RESULTS: - Every song I load in either deck is SYNCed to the other deck ---

Hi @Scratch-E_Con, thanks for the details about your setup and the issue. I followed your steps exactly on my Windows setup and was not able to reproduce the issue. 1. Do you experience the same issue when the RANE Seventy is not connected? 2. Do you have Crossfader FX enabled? When enabled, the vertical line on the crossfader will be shown in Blue instead of in White. 3. Can you please try to capture this with a screen recording so I can try to determine if there’s something else going on that I’m missing in my repro attempt? Thanks! ---

Hi, I don’t think it is the the mixer. When playing in INT mode SYNC keeps off after deactivating (however when I load a new song in either deck I need to press the PLAY buttom to start it). But when using DVS or Phase HID/WIR the problem is there. Can you check? Crossfader FX is turned off. ---

Hi @Slak_Jaw video attached: - 2 tracks loaded, not synced - I pressed SYNC - After transition I pressed SYNC again, it’s turned off - I select a new track for Deck 2, as soon as I press load the track loads and SYNC is automatically reactivated Hope this helps. ---

Thanks for the video @Scratch-E_Con. 1. Can you please share a screenshot of your djay **Settings→General→Song Loading** and **Settings→General→Sync Mode?** 2. Can you please test with your mixer and DVS system disconnected from your laptop? Thanks again! ---

Hi @Slak_Jaw yes I have seen that setting but it should only be SYNCing new loaded tracks if SYNC is on and not if SYNC is off. Once I press SYNC there is no way to un-SYNC my next track. When mixing sometimes I use SYNC and sometimes I don’t. This ‘resume sync’ function should only kick in if SYNC is on already. I hope it’s clear what I am trying to point out. ---

Hi @Scratch-E_Con yeah I see what you mean now. **Were you seeing this in 5.6.8 too, or did it only start with 5.6.9?** I’m going to pass this onto our engineering team for further review. In the meantime, switching off **Maintain sync on song load** should stop it. I know that also takes away the part you actually want, so it’s only a stopgap for now. ---

Hi @Slak_Jaw it was also in the previous version (just like the ‘clock issue’) sorry for not mentioning. Will disable the option for now hoping it gets fixed soon. Thanks again for your support! ---

Hi @Slak_Jaw I disconnected all my hardware and tried again. Same result. It is quite simple: when the option _Maintain sync on song load_ is turned ON all goes well when loading songs in either deck as long as SYNC is not activated. However when I activate SYNC and then deactivate it, it keeps turning ON whenever a new song is loaded. Stepwise reproduction: - turn on Maintain sync on song load in General settings - make sure SYNC is off in either deck - Load deck A - Load deck B - SYNC deck B to deck A - deactivate SYNC so it is turned off again - Load a new track in either deck A or B and you will see SYNC automatically turns back ON I have added a screenshot of my General settings for reference ![image](https://community-assets.algoriddim.com/original/3X/4/6/46c62725f321e288724772d46cb265ed4c8a4761.png) ---

Hi again @Scratch-E_Con, our engineers were still not able to reproduce this on their setups. They are recommending that you try removing the **App settings and caches** file to reset your settings. I recommend you create a backup of this first by copying it to another location in case you want to revert back. > **[Deleting stored data | Algoriddim Support](https://help.algoriddim.com/user-manual/djay-pro-windows/tips/stored-data)** > > If you want to remove or edit the djay Pro for Windows stored data, you can find it in the following locations. ---

Hi @Slak_Jaw I backed up the Djay folder and deleted the original. When I started Djay Pro it started from scratch (pun intended) like it was the first time I ran it. I did the same test again with the same result. I know there are numerous setup things that can be different but I was once a computer programmer 30 years ago and I can hardly imagine that the pattern I described is not reproducable. I am running on Windows 11 and have all hardware detached. Are you sure your engineers activated SYNC → loaded some tracks → deactived SYNC and that it stayed deactivated if they load any tracks from then onwards? ---

Hi again @Scratch-E_Con, here is a screen recording for our engineering team: As requested previously, can you please provide another video of the issue occurring **without any hardware connected** to your laptop. In your video, please start by showing and scrolling through your djay Settings → General menu. This may help to provide additional clues to help further troubleshooting and reproduction. Thanks!
